Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Loveland, OK.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Loveland is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
